Still have problem with script waiting

Post by bustoc » Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:27 pm

OK...I took another run at this problem I posted previously but I'm still having problems with the script zipping on thru the series of steps and not waiting long enough for the mouse clicks to happen. arrrrggghh....what am I doing wrong?

Here's the script:


Repeat>r
// Get the acctno for this row
DDERequest>Excel,Infilename,R%r%C1,acctno,13

// Remove the CRLF that Excel adds
StringReplace>acctno,CRLF,,acctno
wait>.05

// MACRO STARTS ON THE ACCOUNT SELECT SCREEN WITH THE
// PROPER COMPANY ALREADY SELECTED

SetFocus>Account*
Wait>0.5
MouseMove>287,148
Wait>0.5
LClick


// Paste account number in CCS window
Wait>1.0
Send>%acctno%
Wait>.05
// PRESS BINOCULARS
MouseMove>15,166
LClick
wait>.05

// THIS CODE PRESSES THE OK BUTTON TO CLOSE THE NODATA WINDOW IF PRESENT

IfWindowOpen>CCS Desktop
WriteLn>Outfile1,outresult,%acctno%
Wait>1.5


// CLOSE NO DATA WINDOW
// SCRIPT FINDS THIS WINDOW OK AND WILL EXECUTE THESE CLICKS
// JUST FINE WHEN I STEP THRU IN DEBUG MODE.
// BUT WHEN I RUN THE SCRIPT...IT ZIPS ON THRU THESE CLICKS AND
// GOES TO THE NEXTACCT LABEL AND KEEPS ON TRUCKIN"
// HOW DO I GET THIS THING TO WAIT LONG ENOUGH SO THAT THE
// RED CLICKS ACTUALLY GET EXECUTED AT THE PROPER TIME & PLACE?

MouseMove>640,450
Wait>0.5
LClick
Wait>0.5
MouseMove>619,95
LClick
Wait>0.5
Goto>NextAcct
ELSE
ENDIF


// DO A BUNCH OF STUFF HERE



label>NextAcct
Wait>0.5
MouseMove>24,65
Wait>0.5
LClick
// Get next account number
Let>r=r+1
Wait>0.5
Until>r=6

You need to tell the script to wait. Usually we use WaitWindowOpen and/or WaitWindowClosed as a minimum but there are lots of other ways depending on the application you're dealing with.
